Welcome to the first edition of Drupal For Dummies, the book written
especially for people who want to have their own Web sites but
haven’t a clue about how to start or where to begin.
Are you frustrated because the kid next door has five Web sites to your
none? Are you tired of trying to find someone to build your site for you for
free? Do you hear stories about how much a Web site has picked up your
dentist’s business? You need Drupal!
Or maybe you already have a Web site, but you have one problem: The
guy who built it isn’t around to help when things break. And he built it in
Javanese HRH or some other gibberish you can’t even remember the name
of, much less decipher. Makes you want to scream.
Either way, you’ve found the right book. Help is here, within these humble
pages.
This book talks about building a Web site from scratch using Drupal in everyday
language. It doesn’t assume you know how to create Web pages. You don’t
need to know code, either; in fact, you can create your site without a single
line of computer code. The language is friendly; you don’t need a graduate
education to get through it. The goal is to show you how to build your own
site with the features you want, without coding, without deciphering technical
jargon, and without pulling a single hair from your head in frustration.
